On the strength of its five-game winning streak, the Kewanee football team is starting to gain notice around the state.

The Boilers debuted in the “Others Receiving Votes” this week in Class 3A. The Boilers received five votes in the Associated Press state football poll, and are just three spots from cracking the top 10.

In Class 1A, voters didn’t hold Stark County’s 14-10 road loss to Mercer County against the Rebels. Stark County slipped just one spot in the poll to No. 6.

Mercer County maintained its No. 2 slot in Class 2A, with Maroa-Forsyth the unanimous No. 1 pick with all 15 first-place votes.

Three Rivers Conference schools in the polls are Erie-Prophetstown at No. 10 in 3A, and Rockridge No. 4 and Sterling Newman No. 6 in 2A.
